Are you ready to build a career where everything you do truly matters? We’re looking for a compassionate and motivated Support Worker to join our Supported Living team in Swansea, supporting four incredible individuals with learning disabilities and complex health needs to live full, active, and independent lives in a welcoming bungalow setting.
This is a dynamic, hands-on role where no two days are the same.
If you’re looking for a role that is active, varied, and makes a lasting impact, we’d love to hear from you.
About the role
In this role, you’ll be at the heart of helping the people we support enjoy an active and fulfilling lifestyle. Their days are shaped by their interests and choices, whether that’s heading out for scenic beach walks, enjoying day trips, going out for meals, or simply spending time watching football together or heading out for a game of ten-pin bowling. You’ll play a key part in enabling these experiences, creating opportunities for independence, fun, and connection.
Much of the role involves spending time out in the community, supporting independence while also building strong, trusting relationships. One individual communicates in their own unique way, so patience and a genuine willingness to understand and connect are important.
The service is based in a bungalow setting, where you’ll work as part of a strong and supportive team. There is a balance of structured routines, such as attending day services, alongside more flexible, person-led activities. The role also involves providing personal care, full manual handling support, and supporting with PEG feeding, with training provided where needed. You may also have the opportunity to accompany individuals on UK holidays, helping to create memorable experiences and maintain continuity of care.
During waking nights, you’ll provide reassurance, monitor wellbeing, and offer support with overnight care needs.
This role is ideal for someone who is caring, reliable, and physically able to support manual handling tasks, but most importantly someone who is passionate about supporting others to live as independently as possible. In return, you’ll be welcomed into a warm and supportive team environment where you can build meaningful relationships and develop valuable skills in complex care.
What You’ll Be Doing:
As a Support Worker, you’ll be involved in all aspects of day-to-day support, including:
- Enable independence through community access, including day trips, beach walks, meals out, football, and bowling.
- Build strong, trusting relationships, including supporting one individual with unique communication needs.
- Provide personal care, full manual handling, and PEG feeding support (training provided).
- Work collaboratively as part of a strong, supportive team with limited lone working.
- Support structured routines such as day services alongside flexible, person-led activities.
- Digital record keeping
Skills and Experience Needed
A background of working with people with physical or mental health needs is desired, but not necessary as full training and support from senior staff and management is provided.
Please ensure your application evidences experience of the following:
- I.T, numeracy & digital literacy
- Experience working as part of a team and with people or customers
We’re looking for someone who is caring, reliable, and physically able to support manual handling, but above all, someone who is passionate about empowering others to live as independently as possible.

Due to the specific needs of the individuals we support and current legal guidance, this role is open to female applicants only.
